Man, all of these anniversary editions they're doing really reminds me of better days. A big lot of the new stuff they have released the past years is not very good.

I don't really like RFC but all these anniversary editions are before they released any good music at all. Don't turn 40+ before you realize pop-punk/emo isn't doing it for you anymore I've seen the damage it does to people here 😛

its two songs.. how much space do you fucking need 

Does it matter after what I said? 10 inches are a gimmick and non-sensible in every way.

I feel like y'all don't fathom how much mail goes through these distribution centers. There's like 20 of them for the whole 330,000,000 population.

never heard that. how do 10 inches sound worse? its just a different size. 

Did you just start collecting? 😂 sorry but it's common knowledge more space = better fidelity.

seems silly to do 4 songs on a 12 inch. a 10 inch would have prob made more sense. 

It costs the same to press a 10" while sounding worse. It does not make more sense lol

Ha, they actually obscured his name on instagram

does this count?

 

Nope, show me the actual current band mention it one time with any of their promo material. It just kind of existing inside the jacket like that without a peep from the band is worse imo, nice try though

This is a neat video of the whole furnace process... TIL A lot of shit they do is manual

Why else would it take so long? 😋

It was a quick and messy farewell. I think his last words were in the Alexisonfire Otherness thread. 
 

 

Oh god this exchange looks so weird now that I'm not meatrocket9 or whatever it was

Speak for yourself I'm all for leaving this broken ad riddled forum if everyone finds something better lol

You gotta count the rings. Should be one for every year since the original release date

i just found out about this today. sold out at most places i shop but fortunate enough to still be able to find it and the good news is it’s very close to release date now 

That's a bone/green mix, the pink/green he's talking about was a store exclusive.

Hopefully we get some more reissues sooner or later. I have a copy of Sumday but would gladly upgrade if they pressed a blue/white merge variant.

Or perhaps they just picked something that looked nice with the album art, with no regard to what variant collectors care about? 

This would make sense if Jeremy wasn't such a massive vinyl collector. Idc either way but it is really weird when they could have just kept pressing red copies that look even better

I didn't catch any of TMS' shit, what happened there

I also feel like they were splitting up as a couple, and Joel was using the label’s social media platforms to post really cryptic messages, unrelated to any music.  Like one day, a mock-up for a pre-order dropping at the end of the week, and the next day a photo of a field accompanied by “Thinking of her and simpler times.”  Probably exaggerating a bit here, but hopefully someone can kind of attest.  It was awkward for everyone involved – them especially, but loyal fans too.

This is what happened except it was the other way around. Joel disappeared and Lindsay was posting weird cryptic posts with butterflies and spiders. It was pretty sad.

Got excited to see this post bumped, and then I walk in to more shaking fists at clouds. dammit guys, you're killin' me.

C'mon someone said they'd press the records themselves for free that's progress!

Also holy shit was that Mylene Sheath meltdown wild. Probably the weirdest and most incompetent label dissolution I've seen in my life. And that includes Mightier Than Sword.

Just finally got to spin MYT for the first time.  It's good!  There's one song on side 3 I think it was.... it sounded like System of a Down stole it for Aerials, I think is the song. 

I always thought this was hilarious. It's almost entirely ripped off not even just a certain riff lol

The giftcard thing is such a great tip!

Since giftcards count I'm doing it from now on even with lower prices to get the free shipping.

I just add something to my order that I know they'll never get in stock haha

*bends over*

Is it the same matrix? They might assume people would be smart enough to find the actual differences? Oh well...

Lol I'm not sure you've been around discogs lately. I'm almost positive most people including sellers just click the first thing they see that looks kinda close to what they have. Buying a black copy of something with a specific matrix number to get the pressing you want is also impossible.

I just can't believe they couldn't get the rights from Eddie Murphy for the simple little line "Anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?" in 3 is the Magic Number.

Not saying you are but I can't believe people are making a big deal out of it. "Yay De La Soul got their rights back! RIP Trugoy... but hey where's my half second clip of Eddie Murphy?!"

The Assai versions are just the UK indie releases and they slap an obi on it. Occasionally it'll be signed but usually not. 

Yeah I know, there's an extremely annoying battle going on on Discogs between people who don't want extra entries just because this specific shop feels the need to do this so often. It'd be an easy solution if people would just realize it's cringe and not buy them.

Totally agreed. Most of the time if I get a record and a little slip cover thing like that is included, one that usually only wraps on one side of the record, I'm worried about wrecking it anyways. They're too fragile and just fall off. Just keep the important bits inside the jacket itself. 

I don't mind them in general because I just resleeve everything I get, but they're supposed to be useful by having the album title and track list more legible. Why do that in a language you can't read for no actual reason? Lol

The random Japanese OBI thing from non-japanese shops is by far the dumbest gimmick I've seen recently. It's like the vinyl version of a white dude in a kimono.

I guess only having their original bassist is rough and I never gave it much thought. In comparison it's kind of crazy how much hate this band gets for only having 1 original member and lineup changes but god forbid I try to say anything about the people using the names Fit For a King, Chelsea Grin, or especially Norma Jean.

To be fair I use far more energy hating this band than any other band. They were also one of my favorite bands of all time, I'm just mad it fell apart. The new prog shit is fine but I can't listen to it.

I work for two record labels and I see the cost of pressing records. Realistically, they’re spending $50-$60 per copy (maybe a little more if it’s in a nice box and not a quad gatefold). I can’t remember how much they charged for the 3xLP live box set with Roth, but I think that it was similar and this one is actually good. I love Roth-era Halen, but the live show wasn’t Roth’s strong suit. 

So this brand new 4LP release in a nice jacket is being sold for a loss? https://younggodrecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/soundtracks-2018
